Window regulator problem

[Blake_H]

So I was running errands on Friday with my '87 and had the window down. It started to rain and I couldn't roll it up. I had to pull into a parking lot and really work to get it rolled up. I could feel it skipping a couple of teeth and in working so hard to get it rolled up, I bent the handle. Like I said, it was really hard to roll it up.

I have been to all the wrecking yards and become quite an expert on removing one, but once there out, I see that the forward roller has a flat spot on them and they don't roll around. Or, my favorite, the forward wheel falls off in my hand. They roll up and down okay, but I don't want to do this again on my truck.

So I came home and decided to ask you guys. Has anyone had success with a new/repop window regulator? If so, what brand? I see them on eBay and on a couple of suppliers website but was wondering about the quality. Anything that has broken on mine I have tried to replace it with a GM part even it is used.

Thanks for the help!
